I've moved with by BF 7 months ago, we have a small apartment with a nice, medium garden. I love, really love dogs and I always keep telling my BF I want to adopt one.
I prefer big dogs, but since our apartment is sooo small and I'd like to bring my dog with us when we're on vacation, I thought that a small dog would bring me as much joy and love as a big one!
To make a long story short, I asked my BF if we could adopt our first dog and he said NO! He loves animals as much as me, he always had dogs during his life (his last one has passed away 2 months ago), but he says that we have to get more into our routine before adopting, that it would be alone most of the day since I work far (but my BF is usually at home in the morning or in the afternoon). What would you do? Do any of you has a dog AND works away from home? I go away at 8.00 am and come back not before 6.30 pm, on Thursday afternoon I'm always at home, same for nights and weekends.
I'm afraid he won't change idea
